“Maybe we would not have this this economic calamity staring us in the ass of the straits, but we do. That's part of what should scare people about the economy right now, but it ain't the only part. We got a lot we got a lot of stuff going wrong.”

“I don't trust that we're gonna have those standards set by the federal government, not with this EPA. So as a state, we need to set a set of rules governed by the DNR.

“The state senate will be a little, you you know, that path is a little more clear than the state assembly.
